The VoiceWare® Distribution Server (VDS) is designed to distribute documents produced through the
VoiceWare® system. As documents complete their transcription process,
they are returned to the VoiceWare® system. There, the VDS picks up
those completed transcriptions and distributes them. The two primary
means of distribution are printing and saving to files. The documents may be distributed through any printer defined by the
server. This allows documents to be electronically delivered directly
to specific offices within a medical establishment. There remains no
need for human distribution. Settings within the program will allow for
multiple printing options - delivery of the same document to more than
one printer.

In addition to printing capabilities, the documents may be saved to files
on the computer. The program is able to save to any mapped drive of the
server system. Thus, it would be possible to have documents electronically
saved directly in a department's own folder on their hard drive.

The program allows users to save documents using three different naming
conventions: 1) the default name established by the VoiceWare® system,
2) a sequential naming convention that allows a department (for example)
to have files named for easy reference, and, 3) customized naming
using the VoiceWare® text information. The latter option would allow users to name files so that they knew the
contents without opening the file. The user could, for example, save
the file by patient's first and last name, the date of the visit, and
the doctor's name (as the extension). The file name might appear
as: "JohnDoe-1-2-99.DrSmith."

Routing capabilities are very specific. Users can route by a number of
criteria included in the VoiceWare® text file including, department,
work type, doctor name, and many more. Multiple routing is also possible.
For example, Dr. Smith can have his documents routed to his office
and documents associated with Dr. Smith can also be routed to a different
place designated by his department. The VoiceWare® Distribution Server is extremely flexible. It is designed to accelerate document
delivery as well as relieve essential personnel of mundane tasks such
as paper work and nominal computer file creation and data administration.
